Comes with jalapeno hot sauce - don't be shy, it's more slightly tangy than spicy and it perfects the delicious deviled eggs. Appreciate that they're generous with the glazed bacon. Wife loves the little gem salad. It's a bit light for dinner; she cleans her plate. Special of fish and chips - sounded wonderful, but they were out of the fish shortly after 5:30pm - what? It must have been a carry over from the previous evening is all I can imagine. Anyway, if it's on the daily specials, order as soon as you see it! Loud, bustling, it's a popular place, be sure to reserve ahead (of sit at the beautiful bar, that works for a lot of folks as well).

We were trying to flag her down for 10 minutes while it almost seemed like she was deliberately avoiding looking over; even the one time she glanced over while I was waving, nothing happened. Awkwardly, I had to walk over to the counter to place my order, and while I was there, I even told her a couple of people at my table were ready to order as well, but she did not visit the table once... It even got to the point where my colleagues decided to go elsewhere. However, since I already ordered and I didn't want to cancel, I decided to stay behind, which I missed out on a few important company tidbits that were discussed at the other restaurant.

The vegetables also seemed to be placed on top rather than mixed into the omelet. I ended up not eating the omelet because it wasn't enjoyable.

After we ordered, she brought out a basket of biscuits, three for the two of us, which was a bit curious, but no complaints here. The second basket came soon after the first. They were light, slightly sweet, and really good. For my entrée, I went with the Louisiana Bayou Shrimp with Crawfish with a side of corn. Wow, great flavor with just the right amount of kick, and they didn't skimp on the shrimp or crawfish. Portion size was spot on. My wife kept it a bit more traditional with the Southern Fried Chicken Salad, which was fresh and very well done. Safe to say, we won't wait another 30 years to come back.

A Wonderful Experience at J. Alexander's After Leaving Bonefish Grill…read more After leaving Bonefish Grill, I considered stopping at Red Lobster, but there was only one car in the parking lot. Across the street, I noticed J. Alexander's, where about 15 people were walking out smiling, and the parking lot was still fairly full for 8:45 PM. That was enough to convince me to give it a try. I walked in and was greeted immediately by the host, seated right away in a booth, and within 30 seconds, my waiter came over to ask what I would like to drink. The service was attentive and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I ordered the crab cake, which was what I had originally planned to get at Bonefish Grill, and I have to say it was one of the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. It came with a choice of coleslaw and fries, or I could substitute an amazing tomato salad. The tomato salad was simple, elegant, and delicious. I placed my order at 8:51 PM, and by 9:15 PM, my food arrived fresh, hot, and unbelievably delicious. If you're thinking about dinner, avoid Bonefish Grill and Red Lobster and make your way to J. Alexander's instead. You won't regret it. Everyone was friendly, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. After the disappointing experience I had at Bonefish Grill, J.

Solid spot with great energy, but watch out for the sweetness overload on some dishes I had a really fun time at Culinary Dropout in Franklin! The vibe is excellent -- the huge bar area is lively with tons of action, perfect for people-watching and grabbing drinks with friends. Service was attentive and friendly, and the drinks were solid all around. We started with the pretzel and fondue appetizer, and it was legitimately great -- crispy, salty, and the cheese dip hit the spot. The mains were more mixed. The food was well-prepared and flavorful overall, but both the meatloaf and the Mongolian short ribs were way too sweet for my taste. The meatloaf came drowned in a sugary ketchup glaze, and the short ribs tasted like they were coated in store-bought teriyaki sauce. It was a bummer because the concepts sounded good, but the heavy sweetness just didn't work for me. Also, a heads-up: they were out of the fun $3.50 Paper Bag surprise beer and the Bearded Iris when we visited. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning if you're going for those. All that said, I'll definitely be back. The atmosphere, bar scene, and service make it a great hangout spot in Franklin -- I'll just be more strategic next time and dodge the sweeter menu items. Solid 4 stars for the overall experience! Recommended for: drinks, apps, and a fun night out. Just tweak those sauces and this place would be a home run. read more

We had such a great experience here For our anniversary! Alyssa was our server, and she was so sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. She really made us feel welcome. The food was amazing. The pretzel rolls with the cheese dip are a must-try, and the steak frites were honestly one of the best entrées I've had in a long time. Also, if you like Old Fashioneds, get one here. It was hands down the best I've ever had! One thing that really stood out was that the GM, Dylan, stopped by our table to check on us. He wasn't just doing a quick walk-through--he took the time to talk with us and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a great experience. That personal touch meant a lot. It's not often you find a restaurant with great food, amazing drinks, and people who truly care about their guests. We'll definitely be back! read more

We had such a fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! The food was excellent--the burger was spot-on, and the steak and fries were cooked perfectly--and the Tijuana Spa Water cocktail was amazing. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kendall. She was an absolute ray of sunshine. Her energy was warm, genuine, and uplifting, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. What impressed us even more was watching her interact with every table around us with the same intentional care and enthusiasm. It wasn't just great service--it's clearly who she is. Kendall truly brightened our day, and because of her (and the incredible food and drinks), we can't wait to come back. read more

Dude it was so good, I went with my mom, aunt, brother and cousin and had a blast. Our Server Erica (Erika? Idk how to spell her name ) was an absolute doll and brightened my day. We talked all about Liberty, life, food recommendations, and she gave us the biggest hugs when we came back the next day. Not to mention the food was absolute perfection my jaw dropped like it was so good. I wish I could give this restaurant more than a five star rating because everything about it was perfect. The staff is so laid back and easy going (especially my girl Erica) and made everything about the experience such a perfect one. The atmosphere is so nice and its in a really good area. 100000/10, definitely recommend. read more

When Jonny Weber took over earlier this year, we were genuinely excited, we've always enjoyed his work at Country Boy in Leiper's Fork and Zolo's, and you can immediately feel the difference at Gray's The entertainment quality is noticeably upgraded. The staffing is dramatically improved, from the hostess stand to the servers, the attitude shift alone makes a world of difference. The menu has seen subtle but smart changes: keeping some of the old favorites while adding more sophisticated choices that elevate the dining experience. We're also glad to see a more efficient layout for the second floor stage area and dining area. When an owner can pick up extra seating without impacting other diners, that's smart business, more revenue for him, and ultimately better cost control that helps keep prices down for all of us. Our only hiccup this visit was the kitchen. The Sweet Pineapple Chili Drumsticks were really good, and all the orders were correct and arrived together. But both halibut plates and the the pork chop were all overdone, and the carrot cake was overly chilled. Timing and coordination are huge parts of a dining experience, and we expect those issues will get ironed out as the team settles in. Even with that, the overall improvement is undeniable. The direction Jonny is taking Gary's on Main is exactly what this spot needed, and we fully expect the kitchen to catch up to the rest of the operation. We'll be part of that future.
